What Is a Document Request Deadline (Anforderungsfrist, Germany)?
This is a German procurement term. The deadline within which bidders can request the procurement documents.
What is the Anforderungsfrist?
The period during which interested companies could request the procurement documents. It belongs to the era of paper-based procedures.
Does it still apply?

In some below-threshold or works procedures where documents are provided on request, often with a fee for printed copies.
